Mike Shula likes seeing what Cam does when plays break down

In most cases, NFL offensive coordinators want to see the plays they call run exactly the way they’re drawn up. Panthers offensive coordinator Mike Shula is different.

Shula said that after watching a play he called break down on Monday night — only to have quarterback Cam Newton make it work by evading half the Patriots’ defense while running for 17 yards — he was perfectly happy to say that Newton can make things work even if the play Shula calls doesn’t work.

There aren’t many offensive coordinators who are happy when their plays break down, but there aren’t many offensive coordinators who coach a quarterback as talented as the one Shula coaches. Newton can do things with the ball in his hands that we’re not accustomed to seeing quarterbacks do, so it’s not surprising that Shula says things about his offense that we’re not accustomed to hearing coordinators say.

Panthers gotta take care of Miami this week. They’re a good team and no push over that’s for sure. I have faith we will be prepared and ready for a dog fight. This Panthers team is physical and that’s the type of game Miami likes to play too. If our OLine can keep Cam out of trouble we’ll win 24-16

a 6 game win streak in the NFL is a 6 game win streak….you also fail to mention two wins against the 49ers and a better than advertised new england secondary…..you can’t trash Cam Newton anymore….the excuses for his superior ability are running out folks
